Cites Medicus, 'Notes for Novices: Cows' Milk for Puppies', Our Dogs 104 (3rd July 1936), p. 37.
Description:'I have received several letters about my "Note" of July 3rd on bitches' milk. One comes form a Scottish firm who make dog foods. They say:-
"We see in your 'Notes for Novices' in Our Dogs of July 3rd the analysis you give for bitches' milk, being interested in the sale of Full Cream Milk Food for bitches in whelp and puppies. You will see by the following analysis we received recently from the Royal Veterinary College of Edinburgh there is quite a difference from what you quoted from Chemist and Druggist,
Bitches Milk.. Total Solids, 24.6.. Proteins 11.2.. Fat 9.6.. Sugar 3.1.. Ash 0.7.
This, we take it, is more likely to be correct. As we manufacture an entirely whole wheat meal dog food, without anything being extracted or anything added, we noted with great appreciation your remarks on the feeding of dog cakes."
There is not any material difference between the two sets of figures; the basis of calculation is rather difference, and the figures I gave may be relied upon absolutely as a guide to the adjustment of cows' milk to bitches' milk.'

I am glad to know that yet another firm is manufacturing whole wheat into dog food without taking anything from it. Presently, all the best dog food manufacturers will be doing the same.'
